Chapter 12 - Insight ~ 2It was said that deep in the forest, there existed a rank 9 existence. A rank 9 demon beast was equivalent to a human rank 10 expert. In the entire Cloud City, only the Cloud City"s City Lord of Stage Ten was Xiao Xiangcheng. It could be seen how terrifying a level nine demon beast was, and no one dared to easily enter the forest.
What was fortunate, was that normal high level demon beasts would not move about in the outskirts of the forest, it seemed like a strict leveled system. Powerful demon beasts naturally had to enjoy the best treatment, because the more they stayed in Dark Forest, the thicker their profound aura.
Once they entered the forest, all of the members of the hunting team turned serious, an invisible killing intent condensed inside them as they all took out their swords and sabers. Xu Mang led the way, the other sixth phase Xu Family member followed behind, the others with higher cultivation were all in charge of protecting them from left and right. Without question, Xu Xuan and the other two disciples who were at the middle fourth phase of the profound energy were surrounded in the middle, thus becoming targets for protection.
Xu Xuan naturally did not dare to be careless. Even though he had known since a very young age that this Dark Forest was not far from the Qingyun Town, it was still his first time entering such a place.He also took out a small dagger made of black iron, holding it tightly in his hand, this dagger was only around ten centimeters long, and it felt extremely good in his hand, the blade edge was extremely sharp, this was the prize that Xu Qingtian had specially given him when he broke through Sixth Stage of Profound Qi back then.
Looking at the two middle stage fourth phase disciples beside him, although their expressions were calm, Xu Xuan could feel that they were also a little nervous within that gaze.
"Swoosh!"
Just as they were two to three miles away from the forest, a scarlet figure descended from the sky, shooting straight at Xu Kuang. The figure opened its mouth, and revealed its sharp teeth!
"Be careful!"Xu Mang was the first to notice the anomaly, they had been on alert the whole time, and immediately warned him when they saw the scarlet red figure shooting down.
Xu Kuang also felt the dangerous aura, he raised his head, his eyes focused slightly, and immediately tightened his grip on the sword.
Suddenly, when the crimson figure was only two meters away from him, he suddenly slanted his body, and his body moved two meters to the right. At the same time, his right hand took advantage of the momentum to pull out the sword."Crack!"
That slender red figure fell to the ground and was neatly cut in two. Only then did everyone clearly see that it was actually a rank two demonic beast, the Scarlet Python!
"Hehe, the first demon beast in this hunt was killed by me!" How about it? Not bad, right? "
Xu Kuang laughed, revealing a pleased look, he slowly stood up and sheathed his sword! At this time, the Scarlet Python struggled on the ground for a bit before finally dying, no longer able to move!
"Kid, you"re not bad!" Although this is a Second Order warrior, the Scarlet Python"s speed is famous, and this" Zephyr Slash "of yours is also extremely well-practiced. "
Xu Mang could not help but laugh and praise the Scarlet Blood Python, although it was a Level 2 demon beast, its speed was comparable to a Level 3 Howling Wind Wolf, if it were slightly careless and bit one of its teeth, although it would not instantly kill Xu Kuang, it was afraid that Xu Kuang would have to rest for two days.
Seeing Xu Kuang"s strength, Xu Xuan was also slightly surprised in his heart. Xu Kuang"s attack just now was not sloppy and was extremely decisive, the entire action was done in one go, the key point was that the timing was perfect. It seemed that after the last demon beast hunt, Xu Kuang"s strength and techniques had become much more outstanding than before.He clenched his fists. That"s right, although hunting is full of danger, isn"t it also a form of training? In the past, when had a child of the Xu family ever faced a true life or death situation like this? Was it the same as a life-and-death battle? Perhaps this was the only way to make people grow faster. The strong preyed on the weak. Perhaps this was the most primitive manifestation of the forest!
At this very moment, Xu Xuan had fallen into a state of comprehension. This kind of feeling was very strange, and caused him to unconsciously close his eyes and quietly feel things, as though his entire person was standing in a dark s.p.a.ce, seeing the battles between many humans and spirit beasts. There was blood everywhere, and if he wanted to survive, the only way was to constantly fight.
"Buzz!"And at the same time, the jade pendant in his dantian actually glowed brighter, and let out a slight sound, and also lightly trembled for a bit. Immediately, waves of profound energy rose from inside, and fused together with the profound energy particles floating on top of Xu Xuan"s jade pendant.
A strong feeling instantly spread throughout Xu Xuan"s four limbs and bones, and his body gave off a comfortable feeling, causing Xu Xuan to suddenly open his eyes wide. He could not help but feel refreshed, and a hint of happiness actually appeared in his eyes.
Fifth Stage of Profound Qi! He had actually broken through to the Fifth Stage of Profound Qi in such a ridiculous manner! He had reached the early stages of the fifth phase.His heart was filled with shock. He truly did not expect that such a wonderful feeling from before could also allow him to break through and reach Fifth Stage of Profound Qi in one go. Xu Xuan had heard that sometimes, people would sink into a state of enlightenment, and their opinions on some things would become clearer, which would be very useful for their future cultivation. Those with good luck could even break through their cultivation bottleneck and obtain an increase in their cultivation.
"Trash!" I"m calling you! What are you waiting for? Collect the materials. Didn"t you say you were going to collect them? What are you doing? "
Just as Xu Xuan came back to his senses from the pleasant surprise of breaking through, he heard Xu Hao"s ear-piercing voice.
"Oh!"Xu Xuan was still immersed in happiness in his heart. He immediately walked towards the Scarlet Blood Python. He knew that even though this Scarlet Blood Python was only a Rank 2 Demonic Beast, the gall bladder in it was extremely precious. The most important thing was that it did not take up too much s.p.a.ce, so he naturally had to collect this thing.
"Hmph, as expected of a b.i.t.c.h. Scolding him as trash, and he"s still laughing foolishly!" Xu Hao scolded Xu Xuan again in his heart, and gave him a fierce glance.
